Lauren Alaina And Luke Bryan Reunite At The Ryman Auditorium
On Thursday night, November 12, Lauren Alaina wrapped up her Stages Tour with a sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a huge milestone for the singer because it was her first time headlining a concert at the iconic venue.
Because of that, Lauren made sure to pull off multiple surprises for fans in attendance. This included bringing out some of her country music star friends to help her sing a few songs throughout the night.
Some of those performances included Lauren and Scotty McCreery singing “When You Say Nothing at All” and a surprise appearance from Emily Ann Roberts for a duet of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”
But perhaps the most unforgettable moment of the evening came when Luke Bryan joined Lauren onstage to sing “Drink a Beer.”
If you’ve been a longtime fan of Lauren, you know that she and Luke go way back. Bryan was the first country artist to take Lauren out on tour as an opening act back in 2017.
He also unknowingly helped Lauren meet her future husband, Cam Arnold. The two first crossed paths backstage at Bryan’s annual Crash My Playa music festival in Riviera Cancun, Mexico.

Luke first released “Drink a Beer” in 2013 as the third single from his fourth studio album, Crash My Party. Written by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton, the track went on to become Luke’s seventh No. 1 hit on the Country Airplay chart.
It’s one of the most emotional ballads of his career because it reflects on suddenly losing someone you love. The song hits even closer for Lauren after she unexpectedly lost her father, J.J. Suddeth, in 2024.
Fans were touched by Lauren and Luke’s performance. A few comments left on a video captured by someone in the audience include:
“Great Song Great job by both ❣️I can relate to this song 🥲”
“man she was thinking of her dad in the beginning. u can see all the pain”
“Love this song 🎵”
